Sunan Abi Dawud 597

Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفُرَاتِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الرَّازِيُّ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ أَمَّ النَّاسَ، بِالْمَدَائِنِ عَلَى دُكَّانٍ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ بِقَمِيصِهِ فَجَبَذَهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ قَالَ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُنْهَوْنَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ بَلَى قَدْ ذَكَرْتُ حِينَ مَدَدْتَنِي ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Sinan and Ahmad ibn al-Furat Abu Masʿud al-Razi narrated to us—the meaning is the same. They said: Yaʿla narrated to us: al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from Ibrahim, from Hammam, who said: Hudhayfah led the people in prayer in al-Madaʾin while standing on a raised platform. Abu Masʿud took hold of his shirt and tugged him down. When Hudhayfah had finished his prayer, he said: ‘Did you not know that they used to forbid that?’ He replied: ‘Yes, I remembered when you pulled me.’
